Phoenix - Legislative District 17 Representative, Chairman of the House Commerce Committee and incoming Speaker Pro Tempore J.D. Mesnard has endorsed Lisa Gray for Chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Party."I evaluate people by what they do, not just what they say," said Mesnard. "Lisa Gray has worked tirelessly to get Republicans elected, including raising money and organizing grassroots support, and has successfully worked with all members of our Party. This is the type of person we need as Chair in Maricopa County." Mesnard went on to say, "Lisa's strategy will produce the type of strong County Republican Party we'll need in 2014. And as I look at the team she has put together, including Paul Brierley, Rene Lopez, Colleen Lombard and Walter Dudley, I see Lisa not only has the strategy we need but a great team of leaders who will help make it a reality. That is why I fully support Lisa Gray for Maricopa County Republican Party Chairman.""I'm truly honored to have Representative Mesnard's support," said Gray. "Like me, J.D. got involved in politics because he was tired of politics as usual and promises made but not kept by our elected officials. We need more people in office with proven track records, who have the ability to forge relationships that work to effectively advance our conservative principles. J.D. knows that I do what I say and so does the team I have asked to run with me."
